Off Road Adventure

Off Road Adventure:

This is a new Vekoma Moterbike that is set in a rocky hilly terrain setting. It features 2 launches, plenty of hills and turns and over 4500 feet of track. It reaches a top speed of 58 miles per hour in its second launch and features several moments of airtime along its course. This ride really takes the Vekoma Moterbike ride to the next level. With its much longer course and use of terrain this is a one of a kind ride and a must ride. One of the highlights of the ride comes near the end, where the motorbike kicks into high gear and sends the trains launches at very fast speeds for an exciting finish.
Here are the Stats for the ride:

Top Speed: 58 mph
First Launch Speed: 51 mph
Second Launch Speed: 58 mph
Track Length: 4586 feet
Longest Drop: 74 feet
Number of Hills: 11
Number of Trains: 3
Passengers per Train: 10
Capacity: 630 pph

Progress:

Dynamics and layout are mostly done besides minor tweaking. Supports have been started so I would expect it to be done in 2-3 weeks. Also want to get idea of if people are interested in this ride and vekoma moterbike coasters

Drawn out layouts might not work well, just like drawn out links don't!

Here is a valid one: http://www.nolimitsdevcenter.net/p3747

Thanks, I thought the ride was fine when I tested it, not too drawn out. You also have to consider the riding position of the Vekoma Moterbike, I don't think its suited for quick directional changes or fast changing elements. But Thanks for the corrected link, I also edited my original post to put in the right link.

Update 7/28:

Supports are coming along, as the more complicated section that supports the big hill after the second launch have been completed. The rest of the structure for the ride consist of more traditional support strucutre that takes less time. So far the track being supported is 40% but the rest should take less time to complete. Check out the 4 new pics.

Supports are now 65-70% done, which is good news. As you can see from the 5 new pics and of course the previous pics, is that the rides support structure will utilize the traditional column support style for most of the ride. The exception being the big hill after the rides second launch. It will utilize system of beams. Its there to represent someone biking and riding over a contruction site that has a building under construction.

In general do people seem interested in this coaster, since I want more than 1 rate. I sort of want to gauge interest so I can know if I should speed of the process of getting the ride done or take my time and work on other rides. So are people looking forward to this ride or not really?
